According to nme.com, Green Day will perform tonight in NYC

[Jean]

Oh God, please let this be true.

#WTF?

[TheJedi]

There will be loads of official streams : http://www.121212concert.org/broadcast#section-2

Shame it's like 1.30 am though, too late for me.

great, thanks i don't know if i'll be able to watch or not.. hope so

[michidookie]

This fucking site too says both green day and billy joel... I think they copied The nme news.. http://www.inquisitr.com/435192/watch-the-concert-for-sandy-hurricane-relief-benefit-live-in-hd-live-broadcast/

[Jean]

Wouldn't the official site say something about it though? Unless they're trying to keep it a secret.

[GZUSofSuburbia]

Even if Green Day doesn't play, this concert is going to be amazing.

Their source is The Sun, a newspaper whose articles are mostly fiction. I wouldn't read too far into this.

Maybe they were on the original bill but dropped out for obvious reasons.

billie has been very active IG lately, so can't say?

The hurricane happened after the iHeartRadio incident.

guys...imagine if it is true......

[IsaGreenDay]

But hey! We will have The Rolling Stones, Paul McCartney, Dave Grohl, Krist Novoselic, The Who, Eric Clapton, Bon Jovi... It isn't that bad!

[TheNimrod51]

Maybe they're gonna make a special surprise appearance! That'd be bad fucking ass.

If it's so, why discuss in green day chat?

[TheJedi]

but is this really impossible? I mean, a Green Day fans said that Sirius XM said that the band will be on the radio on Christmas eve(still don't know if it's true but why would a Green Day fan lie about that?).. so maybe they will make a surprise show tonight?

[Cori]

Maybe they're going to live stream Billie playing The Forgotten on the piano in Jingletown.

It's Green Day we're talking about. They can make alot of impossible things possible. But although I have high hopes, I won't be dissapointed cause they're are some good bands performing also.

[The Pedestrian]

whilst it would be an ace surprise, I reckon billy joel was misread as billie joe

[blitzkriegdeb]

Don't think this is happening. Green Day playing a televised show after months of being off AND the iHeart Incident, news would've broke about the "comeback" way earlier if it was true.

[elisa]

did they really confuse billie joel with billie joe?!

[Rusty Blue]

I know about Paul McCartney and Nirvana but I'm sure it's false about Green Day, maybe there was a mistake

[tresrocknrollgf]

nope, declaring bs. besides i don't think they'd play a huge show like this, even if it is funding huricane sandy because it'd be kind of a dick move considering that they did cancel their whole tour though. that being said, my personal opinion is that that'd be amazing...

[Amanda]

If it's so, why discuss in green day chat?

There are two other threads about the gig, in General Chat.

[mechanicalman]

NME's online articles are usually shit, they called the Decemberists the Killers yesterday which was confusing.

Yeah they can definitely make the impossible possible. Now I'm not saying it will happen, and I'm definitely not getting my hopes up, but we don't know how long Billie is supposed to be in rehab. I remember reading back in October, that it was entirely possible for him to be out and ready to play again before the end of the year.

And I'm not sure how I feel about this Nirvana "reunion". Honestly, I think it'll fail hard if they have anyone but Kurt on vocals, but that wont happen, unless they play recordings.

That's happened before I think.

They can pull a 2Pac and get a hologram.
